Stella is dying. She's been dying her entire life, for she has CF (cystic fibrosis) and is now down to 35% lung capacity and in hopes of a lung transplant. A type A personality, Stella developed an app to help people with health conditions to know when and what medications to take. She has lists everywhere for tasks she wants and needs to accomplish. She even planned the senior trip to Cabo for her classmates. Unfortunately, Stella develops a sore throat and must check into her home away from home, the hospital, instead of travel with her friends. She does everything she is supposed to do for her CF. She knows that her parents will not survive her death, so she is determined to live for as long as possible. Her best CF friend, Poe, ends up in the hospital with her, so she has someone to talk to. She knows every inch of the hospital, for she really grew up there. She's well known and well liked.
One rule that cannot be broken concerns staying six feet away from other CF patients. Stella and Poe abide by this rule religiously. A new CF patient, Will, comes onto the ward, but he has B. cepacia in addition to CF. This condition is serious and has no treatment. Will's mom has taken him all over the world for new treatments. He was supposed to get a lung transplant, but the B. cepacia ended any hope of lungs. Will is two weeks away from his 18th birthday and plans on living life until he dies. No more traveling the world via windows in hospitals. This is the last trial drug he is trying and then he's finished.
Stella finds Will annoying. He doesn't do anything he's supposed to do. She eventually gets him to do all of his protocols by explaining that she stresses out. He doesn't want her upset, so he follows his regimen and actually feels better. Problem is he and Stella start liking each others. In no world can they ever get closer than six feet apart. Stella decides that she is claiming twelve inches and they'll stay five feet apart. The novel is more than a romance; you also learn about their families and how CF affects everyone, all relationships. It's all very dramatic.
There are mature scenes and topics discussed, so I would recommend this novel to our more mature middle school readers.… (mer)
